in the glow of a warm sunset at the LaDue Reservoir.

Daily Deviation

Given 2005-04-08

Basking by *mperko is one of those shots that when you see it, it stops you cold in your tracks. Coming out of what seems to be the pages of National Geographic, this photograph sets the standard of excellence as far as nature photography goes. The ability to achieve a shot like this is, is every photographers dream, but only a few have the talent, skill, and the ability to do it, where as *mperko has the ability to do it on more than one occasion. The colors in this scream and the whole photo brings the viewer in to the exact time and place of the shot. (Suggested by ^kkart and Featured by `jasonvelocity)
